I have been maintaining a new hot tub for about one year. I have to adjust the ph and TA each time I check the water---once a week. The TA goes down to 75ppm and the ph goes above 8. Is it unusual to see fluctuations in ph and TA within a week? Can better stability be achieved?
Here's my specs.
I use a drop test type kit.
Hot tub: 300 gal
TA goal:120-150-ppm
CH:250ppm
ph goal: 7.2
Temp: 104F
Sanitizer: chlorine and mineral sanitizer(Nature2)
Spa shock and Enhanced shock 1-2 per week depending on use
